MyNetDiary for Healthcare Professionals

#1 Doctor Recommended Food Diary

MyNetDiary is built on a solid, scientific foundation, following guidelines, recommendations,
and equations of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Diabetes Association,
the American Heart Association, and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). We strongly believe in
evidence-based science. The nutrition science works.

On the surface, MyNetDiary does the same tasks as other calorie counting websites and mobile apps,
but what makes MyNetDiary different is its comprehensiveness combined with casual simplicity and ease of use,
enabled by state-of-the-art technology and years of research powering MyNetDiary under the hood.

MyNetDiary is so easy, helpful, and such a pleasure to use that people keep using it,
for months and years to lose and maintain weight.

MyNetDiary is loved by its users! On the iPhone and iPad, MyNetDiary has a stellar 5-star
rating. Other MyNetDiary's apps have strong 4.5 star rating.

The combination of nutritional science, ease of use, and comprehensiveness is the winning
magic of MyNetDiary.

We found out that over the years, as more doctors, dietitians, and trainers discover MyNetDiary,
MyNetDiary becomes the most frequently recommended food diary and calorie counter by
doctors and dietitians, the golden standard of nutrition and exercise tracking and diet management.

Reviews by Professionals

Here are some of the many reviews left by our users.

Instructor's review

I taught nutrition at the college level for 30 years. I worked for Nutrisystem as a counselor and
have been a private weight loss and eating disorder counselor for 25 yrs. I love love love this app.
I have downloaded several apps, but this is the only one I use. I used to spend hours going over
clients logs, now this app does all the work for me. I make all clients download it on our first
meeting. I cannot imagine a better app. My clients also adore it!

Tool for the doctor's bag!

I am a family doctor an have always found it difficult to educate my patience about obesity.
Patients in the past have asked... "Can you help me lose weight?" The answer was always a long
discussion about a simple mathematical equation:
"Calories In/Calories Out"
I am sure I have chased away several weight-concerned patients with my "simple" equation. Lately,
patients are asking me... "Doc, how did YOU lose weight?" Most of my patients have
smartphones... and my conversation with them now includes a demonstration of my MyNetDiary app.

Great app

Extensive food and exercise database. Love the graph and goal setting features. Since adding ability
to access database when not connected to Internet, near perfect app. I am a nurse practitioner
and recommend MyNetDiary to my patients for diabetes regulation, weight loss, and nutritional awareness.

Evidence Based

As mentioned above, MyNetDiary follows the guidelines, recommendations, and equations of the Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics, Institute of Medicine, American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association,
and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Weight maintenance calories
are calculated per Estimated Energy Requirements
formulas provided by
the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

Calculates target daily calories for up to 2 lbs/week weight loss rate. If you
recommend your patient or client a different daily calorie target, it is possible to enter target daily
calories manually.

For each food, MyNetDiary calculates
Food Score.
The methodology was published in the June 2009
issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, in the article Modeling Expert Opinions on Food Healthfulness: A Nutrition Metric
by Jolie M. Martin, MBA, PhD; John Beshears, AM; Katherine L. Milkman; Max H. Bazerman, PhD; Lisa A. Sutherland, PhD,
and used by MyNetDiary with permission. The study distills expert knowledge of leading U.S. nutrition experts
into a simple nutrition metric, to help compare foods and make more healthful food choices.

MyNetDiary was invited by Indiana Dietetic Association to share experiences and best practices leveraging
smartphones in RD work at its annual conference.
MyNetDiary's advisor, Katherine Isacks, MPS, RD, CDE gave the presentation in April 2012. You can view the slides
here.

Best Food Database in the World

While tracking a diet, most time is spent entering foods and this where MyNetDiary shines. Besides
instant search as you type, intelligent favorites and barcodes scanning on iPhone and Android,
MyNetDiary provides the best food database in the world, saving time entering food nutrition facts.

There are over 537,000 verified foods in the database. Our PhotoFood Service available on
the iPhone Pro app helps us grow and update the database steadily and ensure its high-quality. We add or
update several hundred foods every day, including weekends.

One of the older, more well-known database provided by CalorieKing has only about 50,000 US foods
and about 19,000 Australian foods according to Wikipedia.

Daily and Weekly Analysis

The Daily Analysis box on the website and Daily Analysis screen in mobile apps show your daily energy balance, estimating how much weight you are losing (or gaining)
on each day.

For each day, it compares your key nutrient totals with recommendations by American Dietetic
Association, helping you eat more healthfully.

It also provides you tips and recommendations on
good eating habits, helping you be more successful.

MyNetDiary Pro for iPhone also provides Weekly Analysis, calculating expected and actual weight loss and
suggesting possible explanations for differences (if any). It also calculates weekly averages for
nutrients required on Nutrition Facts labels and suggest good food sources in case of deficiencies.

The analysis and tips are based on entered information and USDA and IoM guidelines and DRIs.

Barcode Scanner

For fast food entry, MyNetDiary apps for iPhone and Android provide a barcode scanner. When you enter
your daily foods, tap the scanner button to activate it and scan the barcode.

Barcode scanner in MyNetDiary Pro for iPhone works on any iPhone! MyNetDiary Pro for Android scans on most
Android phones with autofocus (requires free Barcode Scanner app download).

Diabetes Tracking

We've been asked by thousands of our users to extend MyNetDiary to help people track blood glucose and insulin.
We've been working for years on this, developing both the website and mobile apps to help you -
to provide you an equally stellar, comprehensive and easy diabetes tracking.

MyNetDiary Diabetes Tracking is available on the website and in the free iPhone app for MyNetDiary Maximum members,
as well as in a special, comprehensive iPhone app that could be used standalone for diabetes tracking and does not require
Maximum subscription.

Optional Information Sharing

Through the website Community, it is possible to enable safe diary information sharing - with doctors and trainers,
or with family members or friends. The following information could be selectively enabled for sharing:
personal textual profile, “before” and “after” photos, blog,
daily analysis, weight plan, weight chart, all other charts and reports.
Sharing is controlled by the user via the community profile.

Same Solid Science as USDA Super Tracker

As you can see, MyNetDiary is built on the same underlying nutritional science as
USDA Super Tracker. The Super Tracker
is a good and sound approach to improving one's diet - tracking foods and exercise, and helping make
better food choices. MyNetDiary does exactly that, too!

While the science and approach are the same, being small, we are more agile and can react to our users'
feedback and suggestions faster, and improve faster than the government. There are many things
that MyNetDiary does and Super Tracker does not, making MyNetDiary easier to use and improving
chances of sticking to the diet and successful weight loss:

Compared To Free Calorie Counters

We love free calorie counters! They introduce the concepts of calorie tracking to a wide audience,
making them aware of modern ways of losing weight and managing diet. Being advertising supported, free calorie counters heavily depend on having the largest number
of users and go for volume. MyNetDiary goes for quality and depth. Eventually, more people try free
calorie counter, more people graduate to MyNetDiary!

Here are some of the more important differences between MyNetDiary and free calorie counters:

Better, more reliable food database. Some free calorie counters advertise having
over a million of foods in their databases. The caveat is that they typically rely on user entries,
which often are not accurate or not complete. There is not a million foods in the world, these databases
simply have many duplicates and out-of-date foods. MyNetDiary
provides a high-quality 537,000 foods database, entered and maintained by us.

More nutrients - free calorie counters typically have a limited number of nutrients - up to 8 or 10.
MyNetDiary supports over 45 nutrients.

MyNetDiary is easier to use - it searches as you type, remembers your previous foods, and so on. This
is the key to long-term use and success.

Daily and weekly analysis, encouraging healthful behaviors.

In the end, you get what paid for.

Users Love MyNetDiary

MyNetDiary is not just a biggest checklist of features! There are many websites and apps that seem to have
many features, but in fact they are often clumsy, and difficult to use and stick to long-term.
MyNetDiary is loved by its users! On the iPhone, MyNetDiary PRO has a stellar 5-star
rating.

Wonderful!

I wish that I had this 20 years ago. Would have made life so much easier. Have lost 39lbs since
the first of November with minimum effort. I love this app! The longer I use the happier I am
with it. I have a few friends using it now. For the first time in my life I feel in control
of food instead of the other way around. This app gives me all the information and knowledge
that I need to be successful. I intend to use it the rest of my life. I love it!

Better Than Any Diet - This Works!

At 62 yrs, I have tried many diets to lose my 40 extra lbs. Nothing worked long range until I found this
program. With MyNetDiary I finally made a lifestyle change to healthier foods & smaller portions.
I can see the effects of my choices on calories & nutrition. I'm eating less & eating healthier.
My expectations of weight loss are more realistic & I have been achieving them. The features
incorporated into this program are amazing & keep me motivated to maintain this lifestyle change.
I use this program to log all that I eat, my exercise, sleep, & daily weight. I am on track to lose
40 lbs in 30 weeks. This program has literally changed my life.

Love the Charts

I love this app and use it all the time. The calorie counter and food diary are very easy to use.
I like that it gives variety of ways to document serving sizes and that very accurate measurements
are allowed. I love that I can display my weight loss data in a variety of ways. I can see trends by
various time periods such as by month or six months or a year, which helps me to see that my overall trend
is weight loss and that a lot of apparent setbacks are just temporary blips. This has helped me to focus
on general, permanent lifestyle change and slow weight loss instead of always striving for
rapid weight loss. I am losing weight very gradually... just two lbs a month, and have been for a year.
Being able to the chart whenever I feel impatient helps me to see the value of gradual lifestyle change
and gives me the faith that I will reach my goal. Slow and stead wins the race!

Concise and Precise

It's easy to use all day long. It only takes a few seconds to post each meal. Everything they say
about this app is true.
